They tell you right there at the top how they achieve their rankings. You want to dispute their methodology, fair enough. But say so instead of acting like they just took a vote and chose to disrespect y'all.

Anyway, it's pointless. They're just after clicks right now. Which you lured us into giving them. Once the season starts, they'll have an actual complete(ish) set of data to run those simulations.

Good morning, a heck of a way to wake up before a 300 mile drive.

First off, Josh, I know you claim to be a Msu fan but lay off the drugs.
Secondly, while I have no idea about what Lsu will do, I know this much - O is a great defensive mind and has the horses to be nasty good on D.

Thirdly, never underestimate a coach who has grown and learned to leave the offense to his coaching hires. His past trouble was getting involved in too much on both sides of the ball. From what I've heard he has learned from those mistakes , although I have to believe he's going to put that defense as a priority.

Miss State has given Lsu some good games under Mullen no doubt but hold your horses already.

I will say this, Dan Mullen will have his best defense this coming season than he's had since being here. That is a huge plus. QB will be much better but what we don't know is our OL. Yeah, Fitzgerald will take a big leap but what happens if the O-Line does not pan out? See Prescott his SR year behind a terrible OL.

You didn't see this then. This from a SDS ranking of West defenses that has MSU 6th and says they might deserve last place.

"How could the defense get much worse for the Bulldogs? A Dan Mullen MSU team had not allowed more than 26.8 points or 424 yards per game, but last year, those numbers ballooned to 31.8 points and 459 yards. The Bulldogs lose a ton of players both up front and in the secondary, as well as star LB Richie Brown. The hire of Todd Grantham (late of Georgia and Louisville) as the new defensive coordinator doesn’t seem encouraging. State might deserve last place."

Auburn above LSU?

Until LSU proves they are better they should be below them.

Besides if they have the number 2 sos then they will be lucky to be in the top 10.
